OK, FIRST OFF, THIS IS THE SECOND LISTING FOR THIS CAR. ONCE AGAIN, I HAVE ENCOUNTERD ANOTHER BUYER WHO CANT PAY. THEREFORE, I AM REQUIRING ANYONE INTERESTED IN THIS CAR TO HAVE AT LEAST TEN POSITIVE FEEDBACK MARKS ON THEIR RECORD. SECONDLY, I HAVE LOWERED THE PRICE ON THIS CAR AS IT HAS TO GO, THIS ALREADY IS AT A GREAT PRICE AND WHOEVER WINS THIS CAR WILL BE VERY HAPPY. THIS PINTO IS IN AWESOME SHAPE!!! I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS TO DO A V-8 CONVERSION BUT SOME UNFORSEEN FINANCIAL SITUATIONS HAVE RISEN, SO I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PART WITH THIS GEM. WE HAD 2 OF THESE GROWING UP AND I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THEM. WHENS THE LAST TIME YOU HAVE SEEN ONE? THEY ARE QUICKLY BECOMING A CULT CLASSIC COLLECTABLE. YOU DO SEE THEM OUT AT THE TRACK OCCASSIONALLY RUNNING THE QUARTER MILE. WHEN YOU DROP A V-8 INTO THESE THINGS, THEY SCREAM!! THIS CAR WEIGHS 2,500 POUNDS! AND THE CONVERSION IS VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD. INCLUDED IN THE SALE OF THIS CAR IS V-8 SWAP MANUAL I PURCHASED OFF OF EBAY THAT TELLS YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW INCLUDING BRANDS OF HEADERS AND VARIOUS PARTS AND YEARS OF PARTS THAT WORK FOR THIS CONVERSION, VERY NICE GUIDE, BRAND NEW. OK, ONTO THE CAR. THIS IS A 1980 FORD PINTO WAGON. THE ODOMENTER READING IS 52,000 MILES WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE ACCURATE. THE TITLE STATES EXEMPT UNDER ODOMETER, SO I CAN NOT SAY FOR CERTAIN ITS NOT 152,000 MILES, BUT IN MY OPINION HIGHLY UNLIKELY DUE TO THE CONDITION OF THIS 30 YEAR OLD CAR. I ALSO FOUND SOME RECEIPTS FOR SERVICE DATING BACK TO THE EARLY 80'S AND THEY WERE ALSO IN SOUTH DAKOTA, SO I BELIEVE IT TO HAVE BEEN A LOCAL CAR ITS WHOLE LIFE AND VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT. NEW TUNE UP INCLUDING PLUGS, ROTOR CAP, PLUG WIRES, HOSES. NEW OIL CHANGE. NEW TIRES (NOT EVEN 1,000 MILES ON THEM), NEW SHOCKS FRONT AND REAR, NEW FRONT SPRINGS, NEW BRAKES FRONT AND REAR. NEW FRONT SUSPENSION PARTS (NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT, BUT THE MECHANIC I BOUGHT IT FROM DID THE WORK), NEW TIMING BELT. IT NEEDS TO HAVE A NEW EMERGENCY BRAKE INTALLED, I HAVE THE NEW BRAKE CABLE. THE BODY IS IN VERY SOLID CONDITION BUT HAS 2 RUST SPOTS ON THE INSIDE DOOR PANNELS ON EACH SIDE AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. THERE ARE A FEW SPOTS ON THE BODY WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE THE PAINT HAS WORN OFF AND WAS TOUCHED UP, BUT IT IS NOT RUST. SMALL AMOUNT OF SURFACE RUST AROUND THE GAS CAP, ALSO SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. ALL OF THE GLASS IS GOOD WITH NO CRACKS AND APPEARS TO BE ALL ORIGINAL. HAS FACTORY A/C, I WAS TOLD WORKS BUT NEEDS RECHARGING (BUT YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES, WHO KNOWS?) BUT ALL OF THE AC PARTS APPEAR TO BE THERE. 2.3 LITER 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. MANUAL 4- SPEED TRANS, SHIFTS GREAT. THE CAR BLOWS SOME BLUE SMOKE WHEN STARTED BUT QUICKLY GOES AWAY AFTER A FEW SECONDS. GREAT INTERIOR, PERFECT DASH, GUAGES ETC. THE DRIVERS SEAT IS TORN, WHICH IS SHOWN, ALL OF THE OTHER SEATS AND HEADLINER IS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE CARPET IS IN GOOD CONDITION. VERY SMALL DENT NOT VERY NOTICABLE ON THE PASSENGER DOOR, SHOWN IN THE PHOTO. I BELIEVE THIS COULD EASILY BE PUSHED OR PULLED OUT WITHOUT BODY WORK. IT ALSO HAS 14 INCH ALUMINUM WHEELS TAKEN OFF OF A THUNDERBIRD, REALLY SPICES THE CAR UP. THIS IS A FUN AND COLLECTABLE CAR. GOOD LUCK WITH BIDDING. WILL NOT SET UP SHIPPING FOR THIS CAR, BUT WILL ASSIST IN HAVING IT SHIIPED IF NEED BE. ALSO, COULD ASSIST IN DELIVERY OF THE CAR, BUT WILL REQUIRE COMPENSATION, INQUIRE ABOUT AMOUNT BEFORE BIDDING.!! WILL DELIVER UP TO 300 MILES ONE WAY. I AM REQUESTING $500.00 PAYABLE TO PAYPAL WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION, NON-REFUNDABLE AND THE REMAINDER OF THE AMOUNT OWED UPON RECEIPT OF THE CAR IN CASH OR MONEY ORDER. I RECENTLY DROVE THIS CAR OUT OF TOWN ABOUT 150 MILES AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE THIS CAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY, IT RUNS GREAT WITH GOOD GAS MILEAGE. CALL ANYTIME WITH QUESTIONS, 605-335-7418. LASTLY, DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU INTEND TO PAY!!!! ANY FRAUDULANT ACTIVITY WILL BE REPORTED TO THE LAW.
